As well as broadcasting,
Gavin has always had a strong production background. In his early days multi-tasking at local radio stations and being part of small production teams
in television has stood him in good stead for an industry thats becoming ever
more convergent.
In radio Gavin worked on
the production team of a Saturday Sports Show, then Drive and a journalistic
led Daytime Show, with plenty of interviews, features and stories. When working
full time at Ten 17, he was in charge of making the stations commercials,
promos and jingles. These audio skills are still used today producing podcasts
and audio projects, such as pieces for House Seven the online arm of the Soho
House Group.
Gavins first television
production job was working on the childrens team at Five (C5) who produced
pre-school strand milkshake! and teen strand The Core. Working with this team
Gavin got experience in writing, editing, producing and directing shoots, which
led him to Floor Managing at places like MTV and ITN and then directing studio
shows for Five and Boomerang; which he still does now.
Working as a continuity
announcer Gavin is constantly writing as links on BBC Three and Discovery
Science are self-scripted. He has also written for channels Living 2 and Dave. Being a Stand Up comedian writing has been a
big part of his life. Hes also written and produced the comedy strand Match
of the Dave and Word of the Dave for TV channel Dave and articles in a
